in both races and never looked back... When<br />

the gap got to 5 seconds Clint rolled off and<br />

enjoyed his day on his motorcycle.<br />

it out - you need to get down and have a<br />

During qualification on Saturday morning,<br />

Young Leungo Gaorekwe achieved a great<br />

lap time of 1:57 on his CBR600 placing<br />

himself in second spot for both races.<br />

In race one he found himself in a comfortable<br />

second place and coming in to the<br />

second last lap he was shocked to see his<br />

competition trying to pick up his bike after<br />

a crash, which meant that Leungo won his<br />

very first 600cc race. The King Price Xtreme<br />

team was beyond ecstatic and the crowd<br />

loved it!<br />

Leungo knew that race 2 was going to be a<br />

fight and he was ready and after a race long<br />

fight with Clinton Fourie on his Yamaha,<br />

Leungo pulled a last lap last corner outbraking<br />

maneuver and found himself crossing<br />

the line .04 ahead to win his second race.<br />
